I’m not among Northerners ganging up against Tinubu in ’27, says Tambuwal

Former governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, says he is not among the northerners plotting to ensure President Bola Tinubu is upstaged in the 2027 presidential election.

But he stated that he is 100 percent committed to ensuring that the President Tinubu administration and the All Progressives Congress are democratically removed from office in 2027.

Tambuwal, who spoke on Channels Television on his recent ordeal in the hands of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, said the Tinubu administration is not comfortable with his activities in the opposition African Democratic Party.

Asked if he will say that his trial by the EFCC is politically induced, he said, “Yes”.

When asked to name those after him, Tambuwal added, “Those who are concerned are worried about my activities.”

On whether it is because of his political ambition, he said, “It’s because I’m fully involved in a process that would democratically and lawfully, by the grace of God, send this government out of office. [I’m] 100 percent committed to it.

“By the grace of God we’ll chase this government out of power, with the help of God and Nigerians.”

When asked if it is true that some Northerners are not happy with the Tinubu administration and are conspiring against it, he said, “It’s true that Nigerians are not happy.

“I’m not among some people in the North coming together to say that Tinubu must go. I’m involved in the national coalition that there should be a change of guard in Aso Rock through a constitutional democratic process on May 29.”
